<div>Just thinking out loud still, have never dealt with portforwarding on servers, but wouldn't you specify the "lan" IP (i.e something like 192.168.x.x) address on the +set net_ip x.x.x.x still rather than let it take localhost (
<a href="http://127.0.0.1">127.0.0.1</a>) as the IP? Thats still my first thought that looks wrong, but might just look wrong as never messed with that side.</div>

As your config file gets executed at the end of the server startup, it will tell you that it cannot change your IP anymore, cause the server is already started (by printing that write protected to the screen).

<p><font face="Times New Roman" size="3"><span style="FONT-SIZE: 12pt">Sorry, no I meant with a space as thats how the hosts file is organised, it looks for an IP and name separated. In some games for example it "seems" to check its own hostname and then do a lookup on it, as counterintuitive as it sounds when it comes to the master servers. I've never tested that in cod/cod2 to see if its the same though, just wanted to give another avenue for thought.

88.208.200.17.va-world.com</a>? The only thing I am thinking here is if I do that and it doesnt work then I could lock myself out of the server but not sure so i'm not gonna try. Im sure the problem must lay somewhere else.
